In the title compound, C(10)H(12)N(2)S, the thio-phene ring is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0290 Å). The two C atoms of the cyclo-hexene ring (at positions 6 and 7) are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.810 (5):0.190 (5) ratio. The cyclo-hexene rings in both the major and minor occupancy conformers adopt a half-chair conformation. In the crystal, there are two types of N-H⋯N ...

Aim: We aimed to detect the utility of head up tilt test with video electroencephalography (EEG) in children with unexplained, recurrent loss of consciousness episodes. Method: Video EEG were recorded during the head up tilt test. The test was terminated if syncope or presyncope with 30% decrease in heart rate and/or systolic blood pressure occurred. Regarding encephalography, average amplitude...

conclusions increased serum levels of interleukins 6 and 8 as a predictive marker might be associated with unfavorable clinical outcome in patients with severe tbi. results comparing the serum levels of interleukins in two groups with favorable and unfavorable clinical outcomes showed that the mean serum levels of interleukins 6 and 8 in group with favorable outcome was 85.2 ± 51.6 and 52.2 ± 3...

A head-mounted camera was used to measure head direction. The camera was mounted to the forehead of 20 6and 20 12-month-old infants while they watched an object held at 11 horizontal ( 80 to þ 80 ) and 9 vertical ( 48 to þ 50 ) positions. The results showed that the head always moved less than required to be on target. Below 30 in the horizontal dimension, the head undershoot of object directio...

PATIENTS AND METHODS S-1 was administered to 21 patients with recurrent head and neck cancer, in outpatient settings. Of these 21 patients, 8 were additionally administered a low dose of docetaxel fortnightly. RESULT...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of a randomized trial of resistance exercise in patients with head and neck cancer receiving radiation. METHODS Fifteen patients with head and neck cancer receiving radiation were randomized to resistance exercise (using resistance bands) or control group. Resistance exercise occurred at the radiation therapy site (weeks 1-...
